    YouTube of Pistol Shrimp...

    Does anyone know what type of pistol shrimp this is? He isn't pairing with anyone, and has been hanging out in the same tank with plenty of gobies for over a year.

    wow, I'm not sure but he has beautiful colors. Mine is red but doesn't have the purple legs.

    OK, the blue leg pistol shrimp seems to be the most likely bet... I think I just got a good lookin' one! :D

    I just got some great shots with my camera phone; I'll upload them once we stop shooting videos of the pom pom crab who made a surprise appearance tonight.
